Plate (Assiette)

Texto del museo

This plate was originally part of a service owned by Don Filippo Infante, duke of Parma. Married to Marie Louise Élisabeth, the eldest daughter of Louis XV, the couple greatly patronized porcelain produced at the Chantilly factory. The basket weave border was a style inspired by models produced at the Vincennes-Sèvres porcelain factory which was, in turn, inspired by models produced at the Meissen factory in Germany. The hatched border of this plate was likely produced by engine-turning, a process by which clay is turned on a rotating tool to produce fluted, geometric, and diced patterns.
